Why I’ve always avoided the Flu shot…

Mercury: Two-thirds of the vaccines made for the 2008–09 flu season contain full-dose thimerosal, an organomercury compound, 49% mercury by weight. It is used to disinfect the vaccine. Each of these flu shots contain 25 micrograms of mercury, a mercury content of 50,000 part per billion, 250 times more than the Environmental Protection Agency’s safety limit. Mercury is a neurotoxin, with a toxicity level 1,000 times that of lead.

Formaldehyde, a known cancer-causing agentis used to inactivate the virus.

Aluminum, added to promote an antibody response,is a neurotoxin that may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease.

Other additives in the flu vaccine include:

Triton X-100 (a detergent)

Polysorbate 80

carbolic acid

ethylene glycol (antifreeze)

gelatin

various antibiotics such as neomycin, streptomycin, and gentamicin that can cause allergic reactions
